Going into day 6 feeling good.

Hey gang, I'm going into day 6 and I'm feeling pretty good. I still have pretty strong urges but I'm also beginning to see the benefits of abstaining from pmo (most importantly, the social benefits of less anxiety around people and overall it's just easier for me to talk to people). In the past my shyness and social awkwardness was totally accelerated on pmo and now that I'm getting some distance I find it much easier to engage with people naturally without worrying constantly about how I'm coming across. I had some difficult emotions come up today (pretty much everything I've spent the last 30 years using pmo to keep buried) but I'm sitting with that shit and trying to process as best I can without getting overwhelmed. Doing some exercise as well as engaging in hobbies to keep my mind occupied. Stay strong, gang!
